Producers interested in these programs will be required to have purchased at least CAT coverage insurance from FCIC for each crop on their farm/operation and if the crop is uninsurable they must have obtained noninsured coverage through FSA via the NAP program and paid the applicable fees for such.

The deadline to obtain this insurance has been extended until Sept. 16.

Future articles will provide more details about these programs as these programs will be replacing the ad-hoc disaster programs.

In addition, the program regulation and implementation procedures are just now starting to hit FSA offices.
